7/10
A wonderful farce
8 December 1999
Guest House Paradiso is a funny movie, in fact at times it reaches levels of hilarity. The film flows all the way through and is only marred by the ending. The ending looks as if a large portion of the budget has been splashed on it but it ruins the film and leaves you with a sense of disappointment. This is because the ending deters from the rest of the film which is truely vintage bottom. Richie and Eddie are gleaming and for a while Eddie takes the most laughs even though Richie is my personal favourite.

The violence is great and the dialogue is extremely witty, especially when Richie corrects one of the guests about how to pronounce his name and blurts out the 'C' word. You'll just have to see the movie to understand the context of the gag.

On a personal note I am happy to see Rik Mayall back on form after his near fatal accident.

Top class for a comedy and on those grounds (considering the poor ending).

7.5/10
